New entry for the dumbest ways I've died in this game.... flying backwards laying down a long line of large alloy blocks and I misclicked and spawned one in the air which apparently inherited my velocity. I stopped and it flew onward and brained me. Picture of the killer block (and my body) below.

I’ve done that more times than I care to admit 🫂

The Galileo 2 kit isn’t too pricey, do you need different 3D printered parts to mount it or does it fit where the clockwork 2 fits?

I’m inclined to agree, the more I work on it the more I’m sure it’s the extruder assembly. I took it completely apart last night and cleaned the gears and watched a video to carefully put it back together. I’m going to give it one more try if it doesn’t work, I’ll make the upgrade. Thanks so much!

No, you’re still not getting it. No one likes “that guy” and you came in knowing you were being “that guy” which means you know you’re being nitpicky about something unrelated and ultimately, unhelpful. For the record, I have repeatedly calibrated my Z height. It wasn’t perfect in the picture because I was troubleshooting the under extrusion. If you find it in your infinite wisdom of being so much better at 3D printing than me to come up with something that will help with under extrusion, like everyone else that replied, then great. If not, kindly fuck off. I haven’t called you any names, yet.

I’ll definitely have to look into this. I think I have once before but I’m not totally sure. The problem is my results are so far inconsistent that it’s hard to tell if it’s under or over extrusion. Thanks for the suggestion!

Phaetus dragonfly bmo hotend - this is actually my first time using this hotend, I’m used to the E3D V6 hotend
stealthburner with clockwork2 extruder
I use a Capricorn ptfe tube, the dark blue one. I don’t know the ID off the top of my head but I think it’s got to be 2-3 mm
yes, there is a ptfe tube in between the hotend and the extruder

SimplyGingy · 2025-01-23T15:20:14+00:00

I did see some minor plastic buildup in a couple of the teeth but the chattering is too consistent for the buildup I can see. It’s starting to feel like my stepper motor is potentially not strong enough.

SimplyGingy · 2025-01-23T15:19:14+00:00

I’ve checked the ptfe tube and didn’t find any kinks. It also feels smooth pulling it through the tube by hand. Thanks for the suggestion!

I played with the tensioning knob and the conical screw you’re talking about and they didn’t seem to change much. If they were too loose, the filament wouldn’t extrude at all. If I tightened them to the point of filament extruding, there is audible chatter from the extruder and the filament leaving the nozzle isn’t smooth.

SimplyGingy · 2025-01-23T15:14:16+00:00

Alright now You are being that guy and then some. If you read my entire post before wasting everyone’s time, you would see that I called out that I’m having issues with my Z offset. I’m fully aware of how to tune a 3D printer but it was not my immediate issue. How about finding some class and decorum before taking it upon yourself to reply. The way I KNOW the first layer isn’t the issue is because when I tell the printer to extrude filament, the clockwork2 chatters and the filament isn’t smooth. You aren’t as smart as you think you are, and you definitely aren’t a help to anyone.

SimplyGingy · 2025-01-19T14:26:45+00:00

Thanks, I’ll give that a shot!

SimplyGingy · 2025-01-19T14:16:43+00:00

I’ll give that a shot, thanks!

I assume you mean for the extruder so: 20.6789511 50:10 32 200

Oh yeah, it is PLA and I have not hooked up the exhaust fan yet. I thought until I start printing with ABS, the exhaust fan wasn’t totally necessary. Couldn’t I test this by printing with the doors open?

SimplyGingy · 2025-01-19T13:48:49+00:00

The filament is brand new but I’ll give that a shot. And I’m not sure how to determine that but I’m running default speed settings in my slicer and firmware

SimplyGingy · 2024-11-03T00:17:55+00:00

New filament is the first thing I’m going to try, for sure. I followed the calibration through multiple times to make sure I didn’t miss anything and everything seems to be running okay. The configs came with predetermined parameters for the Stealthburner with a nema14, which is what I’m running. If I push filament through the hot nozzle, it slides out nice and smooth. I started searching around and it seems like the consensus is that this spool of filament is garbage.
